Planetary Assault Carriers have been sighted:

^ That's great! And a lot of other neat designs in here...

[Amdrial]

No orbital based Ion Storms I guess? :(.

[Wizard]

@ Saint - Lovin those drones man. Awesome design!

@ Metalass - Frigates look cool

[Sgt. Nuker]

Saint: Your designs are refreshingly classic mixed with a dash of the epic Imperium ships from WH40K: Gothic Fleet. Though the game is rather simple, your designs are very ornate, given the nature of the pieces you must use to construct a ship. nicely done .


My best,

A new addition to my fleet, Javelin. Sister of Lance of Longinus.



-Saint-

[Sgt. Nuker]

The Javelin, she is beautiful . My eyes were particularly drawn to the stern of the ship, with armor plating protecting the boosters from the side, and the center of the hull just jammed with more boosters . Her shape is unique, mostly because of all the "spikes" that adorn her outter perimeters. Nicely done.


My best,

Nuker

[Saint]

Thank you Nuker. I still haven't yet made the brother of Lance of Longinus, which will be named Halberd.

Btw, if you haven't noticed yet my fleet is based on pole-arms. =P

i just finished my ion cannon, but it doesn't fire like i want it to, i'll work on that

[Chyros]

That Javelin is a work of art, a great design :wow: .

+1 in agreement with this statement.
Very nice, I love the spikes.

[Areze]

I love the Javelin. Great work.


The Geisepi Empire's greatest warship ever built, and rarest, the mighty Tempestia. Thankfully for the United Terran Federation (Geisepi's nemesis), only three of them exist due to the production and personnel costs. One being the emperor's personal flagship (slightly modified). It takes nearly 12,000 people to operate it.




The front is pointing up, with the shit load of weapons by the way.

Due to the fact that the Velevet Hammer MKII only has 4 deflectors and no Dieterlings, it should be a "soft target".

Ok pardon me, but are you blind?
Velvet Hammer MKII has TWELVE, count them, 12, deflectors.
Plus a reinforced under-structure, plus 2 layers of ablatives, 2 Impeder's, and 5000 HP.

I'd hardly call it a soft target.


Oh and I love Saint's master drones, thats the first I've ever seen of anything like that.

Well, I did miscount the deflectors ...

Still, the rest does not make a difference.

That would only hold up against a conventional attack, but you don't defend against a nuclear weapons the same way you defend against a ground assualt.

Which teminds me of a weird dream I had, but its completely off-topic.

I know, I did that with the Star Destroyer, it lagged like hell and when it was over the thing was still alive, but it was busted up pretty bad.

[Areze]

No comment for my ship? D:

You get the same result as the meteor thing from self-destructing several large ships.

I was going to do Meta-Ridley as admiral of the other-wise realistic WWII Japanese fleet I was making until this happened:



I guess I'll have to wait until Ship Maker 3.0 is out.

Edited by Dr. Strangelove, 17 December 2007 - 03:56.

[Zancloufer]

The beta of 3.0 is already out.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I know that, its just that beta files aren't compatible with the stable release so I'd rather wait.

The dino ship is a fun idea but... well.

Yarr. Same with the Overlord someone made.

Side-view ships look bad IMO. I really REALLY prefer top-down, but trying to make organic stuff in top-down usually results in an ugly, unidentifiable blob. Stuff like this looks cool in the shipmaker, but IMO should remain confined there, purely as eyecandy.

I ran out of room.3.0 is supposed to have a MASSIVE amount of space.

EDIT: Most side view organic ships don't look well but this one will, besides the "Shock-And-Awe" value of something that massive, fast, powerful, and equipped with its own theme music is enough to make people realize that they don't have any buisness messing with my ships.

EDIT2:Technically, Ridley is only partially organic when he is meta-fied.

I tried making a ship using the hull of the Athena and ended up calling it Andrea, however I failed to make it good and it is the easiest to destroy in my fleet.
